2Pe 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them
that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of
God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2Pe 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God,
and of Jesus our Lord,
2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that
pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath
called us to glory and virtue:
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust.
2Pe 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and
to virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to
patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness
charity.
2Pe 1:8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye
shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
2Pe 1:9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off,
and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
2Pe 1:10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling
and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
2Pe 1:11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
2Pe 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance
of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present
truth.
2Pe 1:13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir
you up by putting you in remembrance;
2Pe 1:14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our
Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
2Pe 1:15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to
have these things always in remembrance.
2Pe 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made
known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were
eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there
came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased.
2Pe 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with
him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well
that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the
day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any
private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy
men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
